Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 February 23

February 23, 2020 by Altered Carbon, Batwoman, Black Lightning, Doctor Who, Legends of Tomorrow, Riverdale, Star Trek, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series 3 Comments

The week seems severely front loaded, with most of the shows appearing this week, but there is still a surprise on Thursday.  Before that, we travel time as Doctor Who races to the future to deal with the effects of the information given out at the end of last week.  In calmer settings across the pond, the midwives deal with being homeless and drug addiction.  Bet you didn’t see that coming, huh?  Then, our Doggedly Caped heroes hit with new villains for Batwoman and Supergirl taking a look back for her 100th episode.  Black Lightning (who does not have a cape) returns to Freeland to fight the epic battle, still without his new heroic friends in his new earth.  The Flash has some more monkey business with Grodd, and the Legends shout Khan.  The Good Doctor autopsies last week’s breakup.  The Riverdale teens play the I Know What You Did Last Summer game.  On Star Trek: Picard, Jean-Luc has to confront his time as a Borg again.  That’s all that’s visible on my weekly schedule, which leaves the rest of the weekend to binge Altered Carbon season 2, this time with Falcon taking over the lead role.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 February 16

February 16, 2020 by Batwoman, Doctor Who, Legends of Tomorrow, Star Trek, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series 0 Comments

After the love hangover of last week, The Doctor takes us deep into historic literature, while Trixie works with a mother who can’t see how much help the Midwives are being.  The DC shows switch up a bit, while Batwoman has a crisis of sisters, Supergirl continues the visit from Season One Winn, while the Flash brings us an Elongated Man episode, and the Legends try to work Zari back into the show.  The Good Doctor keeps pitting his two girlfriends against each other, and our favorite retired Star Fleet admiral, with help from an attractive ex-Borg, visit the exciting site of Freecloud.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 February 9

February 9, 2020 by Black Lightning, Doctor Who, Legends of Tomorrow, Riverdale, Star Trek, The Flash, TV Series 9 Comments

This week features many lovely episodes, as it encompasses 💕Valentines Day💗!  Life is a dream for The Doctor, while the Midwives deal with outdated (even then) birthing practices.  Here my Domestic Continent, The Flash has to deal with an old enemy, but not Cupid for some reason, while the Legends end up in an 80s slasher flick, and Black Lightning chases down his Valentine.  The Good Doctor deals with the horrible specter of social media, and the Riverdale “teens” come to terms with the fact that this is season four and they can’t really pretend to be in highschool after this season.  Jean Luc Picard gets directed by Number One (Johnathan Frakes, not his dog.)

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2 February 2020

February 2, 2020 by Black Lightning, Doctor Who, Legends of Tomorrow, Riverdale, Star Trek, The Flash

With Arrow’s departure, his Devestated Comrades mostly managed to pick up the pieces, except for a few who took the week off for funeral leave.  Black Lightning and his kids join the enemies side, while The Flash remembers he’s married and helps his wife while he mourns.  The Legends take off for 1947 to be gangsta.  The other comic spawned show (Riverdale) tells us a very gender specific tale of honor.   In space, The Doctor returns to Earth, but surprisingly it’s in India, not London.  I guess The Doctor expects the Midwives to handle any calls without help.  It sounds easy enough, since they mostly expect to go see a movie.  This leaves Picard to go off into space with his former crew.  (Not that one, the crew after that one.)

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 25 January 2020

January 26, 2020 by Arrow, Batwoman, Black Lightning, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Doctor Who, Riverdale, Star Trek, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series

The Judoon return to Doctor Who this week, bringing back a fan favorite rhinoceros-headed aliens.  Elsewhere in space, Picard continues to try to solve the mystery of Data’s daughter.  The Midwives are called to make a case for home service for births (instead of hospitals,) as well.  That’s just the start of this week’s shows.  Are you unable to cope with the Deluge?  Can’t keep up with all of these shows?  Good news, one of them is going away!  Arrow airs its finale this week, bringing eight years to a close for the show that started one of the most successful runs of DC properties in video.  Batwoman’s birthday even takes a back seat, Supergirl brings a season one star back, all the other heroes are still to busy to stop by Freeland to help their new friend Black Lightning, and the Legends skip this week to make room for a special set of postmortem interviews with Arrow creators.  Elsewhere, Archie Comics give us another episode of Riverdale, and the next season of Sabrina is still hanging out if you have more time to hang out in the Bureau’s Breakroom.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 19 January 2020

January 19, 2020 by B42 Site News

Genre television returns in a big way, with a new status quo in a new universe after the Crisis has Destroyed Concepts we thought were well entrenched.  Batwoman has to contend with her new reality while Supergirl deals with Lex as a good guy, Black Lightning adjusts to how the Red Wave has affected his town, the Legends are celebrities, and Arrow gives us a backdoor pilot for what they hope will be a replacement show.  The Doctor also gives us a visit with Nikola Tesla, the Midwives are trapped in a lift, Riverdale plays football, The Good Doctor joins the X-Men, but the real big highlights for the week are the return of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Star Trek: Picard at the end of the week.  I am glad I caught up on everything so that I can get behind again as all of these shows suck me in!

Superman and Lois is greenlit as a series

January 14, 2020 by Superman/Smallville

Before we get the reviews of the final two chapter of CW’s DC Crisis, news has come out that Superman and Lois was picked up as a series to spin off of Supergirl.  It will follow the two title characters as they explore the adventures of parenthood with their newborn.  They may be joined by Green Arrow and the Canaries, who gets a backdoor pilot in the back half of Arrow‘s final season.

January 12, 2020 by Arrow, Doctor Who, Legends of Tomorrow

Are you recovered from your holidays?  Did you spend the last couple of weeks agonizing about the fate of the CW’s shows?  Why did we have to wait so long to find out if everything exists or not?  Good news, your Delay Ceases!  Arrow brings back the show before wrapping up on Legends.  We also have some medical missives with Midwives, Good Doctor, and of course, Doctor Who1.
